Access to Holland Landing by Yonge Street is blocked until May 19 for construction to improve the road surface and build a retaining wall south of Holland Landing Road.
The road closure, in effect beginning this week until Friday, May 19, is necessary to accommodate the large equipment that is installing the anchors needed for the retaining wall and to ensure the safety of all travellers and construction crews, according to a York Region notice.
Local traffic will be permitted to access the Holland Landing Airpark travelling north along Yonge from Highway 11, but will not be permitted to cross the work zone. All other traffic will not be permitted.
Following the anchor installation, the road will be re-opened for the remainder of construction, which is scheduled to be complete by late summer 2023.
Improvements to the road surface of Holland Landing Road from Yonge to Bathurst Street and the construction of a centre median on Bathurst south of Highway 11 in East Gwillimbury are now complete.
Improvements to the road surface on Yonge from Highway 11 to Holland Landing Road are complete, apart from the portion adjacent to the retaining wall under construction, the region said.
The construction of the retaining wall is more than 40 per cent complete, however operational challenges have caused a significant delay with the next phase of the wall construction. Further work on the retaining wall will be paused for the winter months and will resume in May 2023.
Construction of the wall is scheduled to be complete in late summer 2023.
